Most, if not all, of you are aware of the Omicron variant of the Covid19 virus and, no doubt, aware of its increased transmission rates. I do not want to be alarmist because, at this point, it is going to be difficult for any of us to avoid this variant completely. Having said this, I want to be as careful as possible.
From Sunday 2nd January the following will come into effect:
We will sit in alternate pews
Please maintain a 6ft distance between folk who are not in your household.
Masks remain mandatory at all times on Sundays, this is now extended to all meetings on Church property, no matter the size. Masks should be of medical grade, we have plenty of you do not have one. Please consider double masking or wearing an N95 if you have one. This is regardless of vaccination status.
Please use the markers on the floor when you come up for communion.
Whilst we are not going to demand proof of vaccination, I would ask everyone who is eligible to please ensure you have had all 3 shots. Please also get a flu shot if you can.
If you are sick with any Covid19 symptoms - even if you think it is just a cold or allergies - please take a test before you come to Church, or stay at home.
We will continue with Formation. Coffee Hour will continue this week but will be subject to review.
Let's work together to keep Redeemer as healthy as possible in these difficult times.
